godpheonix Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 why do i get the impression that the majority of people do not like these cigars. anyway thats why i hear. whats your take on them for those who tried them ? For me, right now they are smoking fantastic !!! creamy, dark chocolote and a cherry-raisin sweetnest ! beautifully balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicko Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I tried 3-5 a few years ago and they were excellent! Same flavours you describe and some leather. Didn't have the $ at the time to get a box but should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onsto Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 You're right. Unloved by many. I like them a lot though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 When young, I found the Regalos to be strong, spicy and peppery, with cocoa notes. Today, they have mellowed into what I describe as chocolate chip cookies with walnuts and cracked peppercorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Best part is that these are widely available the world over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godpheonix Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 actually, I've seen many '07 limited releases still available. like the Asian/pacific PL robustos. which are liked by many. I've got a box of those as well. great cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I got some, but couldn't hold off on ageing any. They were really good smokes. I agree with Shrink's description of them when they were ROTT..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Who doesn't like them? Think they're amongst the best ELs recently. And the Ingenios! Are we the only two who like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoruba Hacker Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Apparently. Which is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godpheonix Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 i'm curious, if they are still widely available and so good, why doesn't Rob keep any in stock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm12 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'll have to give one of these a try soon. It's been a year or two since I smoked one. I've had a couple that were AMAZING, a few that were ok to decent, and the rest were mediocre to poor. Overfilling was a problem across several different boxes for me, and of the ones that did draw well, the blend seemed kind of inconsistent. One cigar would be creamy chocolate bliss then the next 3 would be generic leather and cedar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 i'm curious, if they are still widely available and so good, why doesn't Rob keep any in stock ? You can't buy Swiss regionals here, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
